The guidelines challenge - Philosophy, practice, policy

Abstract

In Oxford, UK, on the 3rd and 4th of October 2017, the CauseHealth group held a conference to tackle what they called “guidelines challenges.” New approaches to evidence and medical knowledge, as well as how to use that knowledge in practice, present specific challenges for current evidence‐based methods for developing and implementing guidelines. Because the conference aimed to produce both theoretical and practical proposals for solutions to these challenges, it was titled “The guidelines challenge—Philosophy, practice, policy,” and speakers from diverse disciplines and professions were invited to speak and attend.
